In fiscal year 2024, F5 reported revenue of approximately $2.8 billion.
Part of Deltek $750M revenue Sept 2025; 30K+ organizations worldwide; 23K+ organizations in 80+ countries; 8.1% ERP market share; part of Roper Technologies; Dela AI assistant launched Feb 2025
Deltek Vantagepoint is the flagship enterprise resource planning platform from Deltek, a software company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. Deltek was built specifically for project-based businesses — architecture, engineering, construction, consulting, and government contracting — with the recognition that standard ERP software designed for product manufacturing failed to address the project-centric financial, resource, and operational workflows of professional services firms. Vantagepoint is Deltek's modern, cloud-native successor to its long-running Vision platform, specifically optimized for AEC and professional services organizations.\n\nVantagepoint integrates project accounting, CRM, resource management, project management, business intelligence, and HR in a single platform with project profitability as the organizing lens. The system tracks labor costs, consultant expenses, and subcontractor billings against project budgets in real time, and provides firm-wide visibility into utilization rates, pipeline, and revenue forecasting. It supports government contract compliance, including DCAA audit requirements for cost-plus contracts, which is a critical differentiator for firms working with federal agencies. Deltek's broader product family also includes Costpoint for government contractors and ComputerEase for construction accounting.\n\nDeltek reached $750 million in revenue as of September 2025 and serves more than 30,000 organizations worldwide, commanding an 8.1% share of the professional services ERP market. The company is a subsidiary of Roper Technologies, a diversified technology holding company. Vantagepoint's deep AEC-specific functionality, compliance capabilities, and broad installed base make Deltek the dominant ERP vendor for architecture and engineering firms.
